Re: Podcast Reader

The default on install is
eSpeak, like old style NVDA Â Â which I find personally a little
unfriendly but it can be changed to any English Sapi 5 voice.
In the demos I show changing from eSpeak to Hazel which is the default Â
Sapi 5 in Windows 10in the UK ,Â Â which I think instantly
transform the impression of the app, Â then Ivona Brian, a voice I
purchased, and an ancient version of ScanSoft Daniel.
It also works with the voices provided with Speech Hub.
It does not support any of the One Core Voices.

I am a little embarrassed to say this after extolling its ability as an
eBook reader but Speak On is also a very good Podcast reader as far as I
am concerned. It has 4 main Podcast functions.
1. Stream or download any Podcast / downloadable radio show
available from TuneIn Radio.
2. The main Podcast App also has library of categorised Podcasts to
search through.
3. there is a specialist separate Podcast app which can be
downloaded via the tools and plugins menu which covers exclusively
Podcasts concentrating on VI Issues.
4. You can also of course import normal OPML files to import or export
your lists of Podcasts as in any other Podcast reader.

Of course all the functionality of navigation and playback available to
Audio Books is available through the Podcasts app including bookmarking,
speeding up narration etc.

The main difference compared to other Podcast Readers is that you
navigate through all the Podcast episodes via the player window rather
than the media library.
So if you load the In Touch Podcast pressing the down arrow with the
media granularity set will jump you through the episodes available
in a Podcast feed.

I have not as yet done a Podcast demonstrating Speak On and
Podcasts but this will be done over the next few weeks during the lock
down.
